Lacked sufficient evidence?
Lets recap, basically every decision she made in the case has been reversed because they were based on bending, ignoring, or twisting relevant laws and precedents with extremely weird and weak reasoning - that always just so happened to favour Trump. She made arguments for Trumps lawyers, and gave them things they didn’t even ask for, in addition to almost everything they did ask for.
And the she took the case on, despite the whole thing very clearly being outside of her jurisdiction in the first place.
That isn’t enough evidence of Cannon’s bias in Trump’s favour? What did Judge Pryor want, Cannon to say under oath “Yep, I didn’t just put my thumb on the scales - I straight up fucking elbow dropped them.”
I’m not that well versed on the law to be able to cite the exact statute being violated so I can only give you a layperson’s guess: obstruction of justice? Conduct unbecoming a judge? Violation of oath?
Fortunately the federal government has an entire department devoted to investigating and prosecuting such crimes, so hopefully we’ll find out soon.
Problem is, as I understand it, there are only so many judges that retire and need to be replaced. Bush and Trump confirmed MASSIVE numbers of judges, so even if Biden went full-bore on confirmation, his influence in this area is going to be somewhat limited.
Good to know. For whatever reason, I was under the impression that there were lots and lots of open seats, and it’s just a slow process to recruit and onboard judges, though the trumpers seem to have really hit the gas pedal on it, and that’s why we got so many Cannons and her ilk. And wow, was I way wrong! Yay!
